    Orange spot rabbitfish 7-8"

    For supporting member with 300+ gl tank Active fish with personality - following you around and waving its tail begging for food - eating nori, formula 1 & 2 flakes, dried and frozen foods, 1.7mm pellet. I need to figure out how to catch it first.

    A's 56g —> 186g mixed reef

    Yes. He is a great fish with personality but I am at that breaking point when the elegance and torch get infected and are in declining/dying state. I have no idea how to catch him - he is too big for trap or net. Barbless hook?

    Thanks for the warning. So far his strong tail waving for food causes more trouble (torn elegance & torch flesh - caused infection) Will keep him well fed and being busy with his toy.

    He is too strong and quick for any stationery nori clip - at least this one can last more than 30 mins and the tangs have a chance at the “crumbs”

    Where to start with Hydros

    Yes, this is a much cheaper solution comparing to XP8 unless you connect XP8 to another power source (battery) as redundant controller. You can connect up to 8 of this - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/hydros-power-4-wifi-power-strip-coralvue/ - to the launch
